NULL pointer dereference in imx-mipi-csis driver when starting stream

[Frieder Schrempf]

Hi everyone,

after solving the previous devicetree and driver issues with the media
pipeline on i.MX8MM using a RPi v2.1 camera module (imx219) as sensor, I
now try to get an image from the sensor and run into the next problem.

Below you can find the commands I use and the output I'm getting. Maybe
someone can see straight away what's wrong or at least can make a guess
before I start diving into the code. ;)

By the way: This happens on v6.1.11 and 6.2-rc8.

Thanks
Frieder

I'm setting up the pipeline like this:

media-ctl -d /dev/media0 -V '"imx219 1-0010":0[fmt:SBGGR10_1X10/640x480
field:none]'
media-ctl -d /dev/media0 -V
'"csis-32e30000.mipi-csi":0[fmt:SBGGR10_1X10/640x480 field:none]'
media-ctl -d /dev/media0 -V '"csi":0[fmt:SBGGR10_1X10/640x480 field:none]'

This is how "media-ctl -p" looks like afterwards:

Then I try to start a stream using:

v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video0
--set-fmt-video=width=640,height=480,pixelformat=RG10 --stream-mmap

and run into this NULL pointer dereference error:
